better off using throttle bodies instead of carbs and i reckon u'll see 300bhp tops. u'd need to use turbo power to get over 300 from a zetec.

twin 45's port n polish exhaust = 200bhp FTW

any more you'll be looking at raising the capability of the engine to go to ~9000rpm with silly cams etc, but i very much doubt you'll reach anywhere near 300bhp without a turbo.... or supercharger

You'll never see 400BHP NA from a Zetec

More like 200 BHP from that spec.
